German Literature and Art (foreign Literature and Art Theory Series)
About This Novel
"On Deutschland" (1810) is one of the classic works of European Romanticism. It is a summary of Mrs. De Steyr's own cultural thoughts after traveling in Germany during her later years of exile. "On Deutschland" is divided into four parts, and this book is the second part. It analyzes the characteristics of German literature and art in detail, comments on the character and tendencies of German writers, and examines the roots of Germany's unique metaphysical temperament. Classical writers such as Wieland, Klobstock, Winkelmann, Lessing, Herder, Goethe, Schiller and their representative works are all appreciated and evaluated in the book; representatives of German romantic literature, such as the Schlegel brothers, are even more enthusiastically praised by the author.
